Each year, Microsoft Research sponsors a semester-long class at leading design schools. Students are asked to form interdisciplinary teams of two to four students to design a user experience prototype that solves a real-world problem. From these groups, a representative team from each school presents its work to Microsoft. This year, Design Expo is excited to align with Imagine Cup and Microsoft's 40th anniversary. The event will take place from July 28th to 31st in Redmond, Washington.
